As of two days ago, my house got Internet. For the first time since September 2012. 

You got it, nerdy folk. I went through practically my entire junior year of high school in a public education system that assumes all students have Internet and assigns tasks as such. 

I deserve a medal. A big one. 

I had just gotten used to roughin' it at home, in the middle of no where, then BAM, we're back online, and all I wanna do is surf until I get keyboard calluses on my fingers…

Okay, it's my first time posting here, so forgive me for sounding so stupid. I must admit though, becoming a nerdfighter was more awesome than I expected.

So why am I here? Why did it take so freaking long for me to make this account? Well, okay. Honestly, I only found out about the vlogbrothers recently. Yeah, I know, SHAAAME. It took me a bit longer to realize that wow, okay, these guys are definitely worth the subscribe and the stalking that comes with a new fandom. And I found…

So, in an attempt to cleanse my body of the wretched feeling of boredom, I am going to try to blog. I haven't really 'blogged' before, so I'm not sure if there's some magic dust you must first sprinkle over yourself to make your posts good. I don't really know where to start, so I guess I'll just talk about myself.

• I am nearly 14 years old, my birthday is on the 21st! 
• I have been a nerdfighter since 2008, so that's pretty exciting.
• I have a giant heart for…

After much deliberation on making up my own DFTBA initialism, I'm finally a nerdfighter. Yay!Took me gazillion centuries to join, though. 

A fellow nerdfighter convinced me to started to up a vlog.

In which I try to tell you a little about who I am and what I do, and succeed at neither. The next one will have a real subject though, I promise!

The main reason I'm starting this up is to improve my public speaking really, or maybe just my speaking in general. When I'm watching accomplished youtubers I can't help but notice how engaging…

... in which I decide that this will be a music blog! I will post videos every time I come across something awesome. Recommendations are always welcome!

So today I was alterted through Spirit of Metal that the new Diablo Swing Orchestra (avant-garde metal. In the case of this band, expect metal+jazz+classical inspired singing) album- Pandora's Pinata-  was out and kicked ass. I am listening to the single at the moment, which is quite on the happy side of the force, and very colourful…

So this is the first blog I've ever tried to make and hopefully this will not go too horribly over the course of my writings. As the title implies I am not very good at this sort of thing and am as of this moment not entirely sure what to write about. So for now I guess I'll treat this like a sort of daily journal or whatever.

My name... will remain a secret, however know that there is meaning behind the one i have posted. That being said, my "first name" is a character I have created…

First NF blog post, so I figured I'd start off with something profound and meaningful, something that gives insight into my innermost psyche.

That's right...a list of 13 things that are cool (at least in my opinion). :D

1. Nutella. Chocolate-hazelnut spread of awesome that has the consistency and nutritional value of cake frosting. This is at the forefront of my mind at present, because I'm going to be making Nutella brownies after lunch.

2. Learning…

I've kind of always wanted to try blogging. It always seemed like an interesting way to get view points across. Besides, blogging could be a way of making sure I check my Nerdfighters account on a regular basis, although not much happens on it anyway, but that's probably due to the fact that I don't check it very often...hm.

Anyway, blogging. What am I supposed to write about? I'm pretty sure none of my friends from school or anything are on here, and if they are, they don't know that…

Do you know that quote where John Green talks about nerds being able to obssess over things shamelessly?

Well, I do that. A while ago it was Glee; then I switched to Hunger Games, then I became obsessed with Cassandra Clare. Two weeks ago it was guitars. Last week, I was really into Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin. This week.....*drumroll* it's rock n' roll. I've gotten every single Aerosmith cd known to man. As well as ACDC of course (:

One thing that has remained…

For some reason, this place scares me. ... actually, for NO reason, this place scares me. I discovered the vlogbrothers for realzies about a month ago (before that, I was just thinking "what the heck are nerdfighters? Are they people who fight nerds? Are they nerds who fight? That sounds awful! Who's this guy in the Tumblr gifs saying incredibly awesome stuff about love and homosexuality and not liking boys who want you to act stupid?") and as I slowly came to realize that I was a…

Ok, so, this is my first blog so it won't be the best, but I need some help. I'm only 14 but I got an amazing idea(at least to me) for a book plot that I want to write, but I have no idea how to start! I mean, I've made characters and character designs already, but I have no idea where to start. Can anyone help me with this...?

Please?

Lost and Confused

Writing the first post of a new blog is notoriously difficult, and so, because I've got a chapter of my book to write, and I'm struggling to come up with anything not related to it, I'll just copy-and-paste an entry from my tumblr which I think will serve as a decent introduction to who I am and where I'm at in my life right now.

Until my next post, DFTBA!

Right now (in this hour, in this minute, in this second) I am procrastinating. I am rather good at this- I've been doing it for hours! I have some stupid Africa physical map that's due tomorrow and I haven't even started it. It's 7:43 pm. I'm kinda screwed. But you know, I'm still gonna procrastinate. I just don't want to do my work!

I…

小日和！僕が空ですか！

お元気ですか？私和本とに仕合わせ！私はジョン·グリーンの新しい本を持って！私は本当に今のところ気に入っています。とにかく、これが私の最初のブログ投稿です！やったあ！私は本当に言っても過言ではありません...申し訳ありません。私は何より、次回考えるでしょう。:)それまで、さようなら。DFTBA

As the title indicated, this is the first blog post I've ever made on the Ning, so I do apologize if this ends up being boring or not planned out very well. Honestly, I am just winging this.

Anyway, without further a due; hello Nerdfighteria!

I believe I've been on the Ning for more than a year now, but I haven't really been that active. Sure I've poked around in some groups and made comments here and there, though I have yet to do something really—well—awesome. I…

Hooray I have finished my profile on this glorious website and now I've found out through on of John's older videos that I can write a blog post, so I might as well do that.  This website is so shiny and new and there is a photograph in the sidebar of Hank with a comparison shot of Commissioner Gordon, and a bunch of Dr. Who pictures, and Homestuck fanart, and what is that infernal beeping noise?  



So I realize I probably shouldn't use this as a place to thought dump, but that…

So two of my friends, both in the year below me at University, are developing a retro stylee console.

They've had interest from proper buisness investor type people.

They're getting proper business type offices.

Only one of them is 21.

And then there's me... A pending dissertation.  No films in the pipeline.  No work at all on the horizon. 

Yeah, I don't feel inadequate at all..

ALTHOUGH, I am…

Hi! I am a new nerdfighter and I wanted to try blogging. I am not exactly sure what you are suppose to to do in a blog so here is my attempt.

I am a senior in high school and that means colleges. I properly get about 15 things from colleges a week in the mail and that's not counting emails and phone calls. I mean I really don't know exactly where I want to go but it has to be…
